I’m trying to recreate an existing site of mine, created in DreamWeaver.
It’s in FAQ form, but pretty plain; the most complicated components are table-based contents on the first page, with sub-contents on each additional page.
Though I might go back to tables for the Freeway version (because I’m not having much luck now), I started to recreate it with lists.
a) is there a way (Action-based, I guess, since it doesn’t seem possible with the built-in function) to have the numbering progress to decimals? That is:
TOPIC
TOPIC
2.1 SUBTOPIC
TOPIC
So far, I’ve been changing Style to unbulleted and numbering manually.
b) is there a way to get the List Style to stay the same as the preceding one, rather than go back to default? If I indent and change the Style from the default to numbered (or unbulleted), the next line goes back to default rather than the current list style.
c) In creating a list, I’ve gone to three levels of indent, and encountered a problem. It looks something like this:
TOPIC
TOPIC
2.1 SUBTOPIC
TOPIC
3.1 SUBTOPIC
3.1.1 SUBSUBTOPIC
3. TOPIC
There’s an extra line between the twice-indented item (3.1.1) and the once-indented items above and below. The source for the published page shows a < dl > and < /dl > on either side. I’ve tried re-doing the line, but that code keeps getting inserted.

Well, whether a list or a table you will still have to type the custom numbering into each “list item”. As a list, the numbering scheme won’t mean diddley to non-sighted browsers but everything will still interpret it as a list – which is appropriate as all the list items will appear related. As a table however, non-sighted browsers will not see each entries relationship to the other or to the whole because Freeway still cannot correctly identify a data table from a layout table.
As for future editing, it may also prove easier to rearrange a list as opposed to a table. But as you say, “Urgh”. Such is life.

Urgh. I thinking that maybe a table is the simplest way to go.
